What are the highlights of this year’s social and cultural design festival “SIW 2024” held in Shibuya?

The social and cultural design festival “SOCIAL INNOVATION WEEK 2024 (SIW)” is currently being held in Shibuya, Tokyo (October 18th to November 10th).

SIW is a place for dialogue, ideas, experiences, and demonstrations to think about future possibilities from Shibuya. We aim to create new social actions and culture by bringing together industry, government, academia, and citizens across boundaries.

This year,With the slogan “Connecting Colors of Dots,” we create a place where individuals of various colors connect, think about a more colorful future, and generate ideas.

SIW will be held for about three weeks in conjunction with various events in the Shibuya area. Among the nearly 100 programs, we will introduce the most noteworthy programs.
